1. Go to http://xkcd.com/533/
2. Hold the mouse still over the comic strip.
3. A tooltip appears. Try to read it.

Current behavior:
The tooltip disappears from screen for no obvious reason before you have time to read all of it.

Expected behavior:
The tooltip should stay on screen until I either move the mouse into the tooltip or outside of the page element to which it belongs.

Note:
This is said to be related to the "noautohide" XUL attribute, which apparently defaults to off:
